T-ball - Game 1 of 2

Yep, you read that right:).  The boys played T-ball this summer, and there are 12 practices and 2 games.  It was a good learning experience for them, but boy were they ready and excited about those 2 games!!  They had grand ideas and dreams about double plays, home-runs, and tagging guys out, but t-ball rules don't really allow for much of that:).  But even with t-ball rules in place (no strike outs - you swing until you get a hit, 1 base limit, no one gets tagged out, etc.) they had a blast!!  Here are some pics of game one (warning - there are a lot:):  

The baseball players - ready to go!!

Lined up on the bench, ready to bat.

waiting patiently......

Finally!!  Kyle's up to bat!

It's a hit!!  Run, Kyle, run!!

Brock's turn!


It's a hit!!

Now that everyone had a turn to bat, it's time to play the field.  Kyle's in the outfield, but as he says, "In       t-ball, the outfield is still in the dirt!" :).

Brock got to play first base - he's just throwing the ball to home plate.

Another one to throw home (because you always throw to first base, then the first baseman throws it home).

Love his wind-up:).

Brock throwing, Kyle in the background, waiting for a ball to come his way.

Inning 2 of 2 - ready to bat again.

Swing batter!!

Waiting on 2nd base.  They look so funny with those batting helmets on top of their hats:).

Oops!!  Missed the ball, but hit the T :).

Trying again.

On base - waiting to run.

Headed home - love that smile!!

High five, coach!!

Back to the field.  It's Kyle's turn to play first base.

So glad he got a turn at first!


He was a little distracted by his cheering section:). 

We had to remind him to watch the ball:).

Got one!

Throwing it home!

Game's over - lining up for high fives.  Brock asked the coach who won the game, and she said "In t-ball, we're all winners:)!!"

Good game boys!!



Brock and Kyle with Coach Jarod after the game.  The boys had 3 coaches - all college students.  They did an awesome job, and the boys loved them all.  This was the only game that Coach Jarod could be at, so we got a pic with him before we left.  The boys loved that he was a Cardinal's fan, and he was wonderful about discussing the previous day's game with them at EVERY practice.  Thanks, Coach Jarod!!
